Icebreaker Questions

1. What’s one challenge you think most students today deal with regularly?  What does the Bible say on how to address the challenge?

2. Who's a godly example you've learned Christlikeness from?  What traits/characteristics have you picked up from them?

Diving Deeper

1. Read Philippians 3:18-19. Paul says some “walk as enemies of the cross” with minds set on earthly things. What does it look like today when someone’s desires, priorities, or identity are shaped more by earthly things than by Christ?

2. Read Philippians 3:20-21. Paul reminds believers that their citizenship is in heaven and that Christ will transform their bodies. How does remembering your heavenly identity change the way you see your struggles, choices, and purpose right now?

3. Read Philippians 4:1. What spiritual practices, relationships, or habits help you stay grounded when life feels unstable or when your faith is challenged?

Life Application Questions

1. What cultural messages (social media, school, friends) most influence you, and how can you stay spiritually aware of them?

2. What’s one way you can be a godly example to someone younger or newer in the faith?  Spend time praying for the next generation daily this coming week.
